How To Sew On a Button
Hand sewing buttons to a garment is very time-
consuming.
Sew them on in one quick, easy step.
•
Set the stitch width according to the position of the
holes in the button.
•
Drop the feed dog. See page 20.
•
Set the stitch length on any number.
1. Mark button placement on fabric. Use washable glue
or transparent tape to temporarily secure the button.
Place the button and fabric under the presser foot.
Match the holes in the button to the horizontal slot on
the presser foot. Turn the flywheel to lower the
needle into a hole of the button. Lower the presser
foot.
2. Turn the flywheel to have the needle enter the
opposite hole of the button. Readjust the stitch width
if necessary. To form a thread shank, place a pin
on top of the foot.
Stitch several times.
After you finish sewing, cut the thread but leave 10-
15 cm (4-6") of thread at the button.
3. Pull the thread to the reverse side of the fabric and
tie the threads. (To complete creation of thread shank

– pull threads to underside of button, wrap
threads around each other and tie them.)
Raise the feed dog after sewing on buttons.
